    I love how there’s an actual tailor there for inept bug as opposed to slapping him into a one size fits all uniform.

    A dear friend of mine who was in WWII cited some authority on war as saying that the military could use anyone — thief, sneak, liar, certainly murderer — except for one: the well-meaning idiot. “Just take him out and shoot him before he gets everyone killed.”

    Private Snafu! Warner Bros. & Chuck Jones made a series of cartoons about an unbelievably inept soldier as semi-comic “training” for WWII army enlisted. They’re on youtube, and they’re still hilarious.

      Oh my yes. Pvt. Snafu is awesome. I highly recommend the one on being able to keep secrets, the constant repetition from the Axis spies really helps you understand just how stupid Snafu really is. I kept thinking “How does that dingus not see/hear these guys popping in behind him and repeating verbatim what he just said?”

      It’s on Youtube as Private SNAFU – Spies (1943).

    this reminds me of a short story(by Isaac Asimov?) where a guy is jinxed and everything breaks around him, so they send him behind enemy lines

      I think that was a short story called ‘Prone’ by Mack Reynolds.

    Awesome strip. I’m pretty sure ‘screw-up’ is hyphenated though.

      You know what’s funny? When I wrote this, I debated on whether or not I should hyphenate it. I eventually decided that, yes, I should hyphenate it. And then I completely forgot to do it.

      I’ll throw it in.

    I recall the Bugs Bunny cartoons from my youth that were made in WWII. Bugs used to pronounce the word, “Sab O Tah Ghee”.

    It’s amazing to think that, to my grand-daughter, WWII is as far in the past as the Spanish American War was for me.

    That reminds me of this MLP:FiM fan comic: http://fav.me/d4nalmy

    How DO you set fire to an ice castle?

    I do love the haberdashery bug outfitting the screw-up bug with an enemy outfit! There’s just so much to like on this comic!

    Panel three: no problem, guy, i don’t think you’re fit for operating a compass anyway. Or a blanket.

    This is me. This one strip has encompassed my entire life. Literally. I try to juggle things I shouldn’t, machines break all around me, I’m a spiller, I spilled jack and coke on the bride and grooms chairs as they were finishing their first dance as Husband and Wife, I smeared, yes smeared, one of my friends between 2 cars, then accidently backed up and smeared him more THE DAY AFTER I GOT MY LICENSE. His @$$ left a dent on the other car…

    Nobody will read this now that it’s 4 days later, but…. Beastie Boys title reference made me smile. Nice.

    I’m obviously a bit behind on the post date for this, but I just started reading these a week or so ago. Funny stuff on every strip! And updated often, too. Well done, sir!

    Also: Beastie Boys reference!

    If the Rebels had had any intelligence at all, they would have just ordered Jar-Jar to ‘help’ the emperor, with similar results.
